Great Questions, I see some one is in the Christmas Spirit!! Hope you are having a great weekend??
Oh yes and the answer to 9 is(ju-ju comes from the French "joux joux" meaning plaything. A ju-ju is a charm or amulet with magical and protective powers)

KVN: Wow! thanks for the insight. I had never heard of those pets until Thursday. They look similar to the Furbies that were popular a while back.
Question: if "ju-ju" means "plaything", then i wonder why they call those supr hard rubbery candies in the green box "ju-ju bees". You use to be able to buy them at the movies and they were colorful candies that were so tough I swear they could rip your tooth out from the root! LOL.

Love Rudolph and Frosty, but my personal favorite is Santa Claus Is Coming to Town with the fueding elemental brothers Heatmizer and Mr. Freeze.

I just LOL’d at the festive holiday sweaters! Those things are hideous–just HIDEOUS!!–and unfortunately, a staple amongst older elementary teachers.
And I sat with a pie tin and 1/2 a sweet potato pie in my lap and took it OUT. Those were good times.

ULTIMATEME: OH! I forgot about Santa Claus.!!! LOL. When does that come on? Rudolph and Frsoty come on on Wednesday! Whoo-hoo!

MAKINGACHANGE: ahhhh! too funny! You’d better tell all those teachers at your school to stop breaking all the fashion rules!
As for the pies……WAY TO GO! Looks like you won that battle! Whoo-hoo!

LEX: Oh yeah, it was called clay-mation. Adama Lambert is the former American Idol winner or runner up, who came out decided to to reveal he was openly gay, shortly after the show and seems to be engaging in some questionably inapprporiate behavior in my opinion.
